Cinnamomum zeylanicum

is an evergreen 8-10m high tree of the laurel family, originally from Sri Lanka. We use its bark which contains essential oil with eugenol, felandren, thymol, mucus and tanning agent. Cinnamomum zeylanicum is considered to be of the highest quality. It is strongly aromatic. When dried, bark forms distinct thin scrolls. The edges roll up inside, so specific double-rolls are created.

„The first mentions of cinnamon come from China from 4,000 BC. The ancient Egyptians used it as medicine and aromatic ingredient. Cinnamon was also popular in ancient Greece and the Greeks attached great importance to its medical effects, but they didn´t know where it came from. Even Aristotle supposed that cinnamon is brought from foreign countries by huge birds and that the fearless Arabians were stealing it from their nests until his student, Alexander the Great, found cinnamon during his crusade to India.

Cinnamon was very rare and expensive, which is why people kept fighting for it. In the west, people knew only Cinnamomum cassia. In the 16th century, in the times of expeditions, Ceylon cinnamon started to be imported. In 1580 the Portuguese occupied Ceylon. They hardly oppressed local population as they wanted to provide enough cinnamon to Europe. From 1632, the Netherlands were more and more powerful there and they established a monopoly of Ceylon cinnamon. Later, they transferred its cultivation to Indonesia which is still one of its biggest producers. Cinnamon has been known in the Czech lands since 15th century.“(source: http://cs.wikipedia.org/)
